The director for the project is to be Gore Verbinski, who proved himself on the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy, and the current writer for the screenplay is John Logan, who is recently known for the also-creepy Sweeny Todd.
So what you're telling us is that it's gonna star Johnny Depp?
I guess we can hope for a flash light taped to the gun this time.
Something tells me this will be one of the little jokes in Doom4--somewhere near the beginning, you'll find a flashlight. Then a little while later, you'll find some ducttape and the character will go "Aha!" and put them together.
I remember reading an article on Pixar's HQs a long time ago, and one thing that stood out to me was that there's only one pair of bathrooms in the entire complex. This is to encourage people to run into each other and interact more frequently. I'm sorry, but that would just bug me. When I need to go to the bathroom, I don't want to be interrupted to have a conversation, nor do I want to hear other people yapping away while they do their business. But I guess that's just me....
Oblig urinal joke: "I hear this is where all the dicks hang out."
Even with the clearer guide from lifehacker, this still leaves a few issues open:
(i) its a HACK and if Canon smell it, bang goes thy warranty;
(ii) CHDK are from/in Russia - genius programmers, but nationally a poor track record on the TRUST aspect.
The first one is addressed right here on the site. And sorry, but I can't help you with your xenophobia.
I've used CHDK on my A710IS for about six months with zero problems. As many others have mentioned, it's incredibly easy to disable it, but the features that it adds are very handy.
Hey guys, check this out! I just found out that you can send emails to multiple people AT THE SAME TIME by putting a comma between their email addresses! Pretty cool, huh?
Hmm... for those not in the know, what are the tricks for a $230 PS3?
Most people should be able to get it for $280 using the following. I got an extra $50 knocked off thanks to my Amazon HDDVD credit.
1) Sign up for a Sony credit card using this URL: www.sony.com/sonycard/ps3 If approved you'll get a $100 credit off your first purchase of $300 or more (can take a few weeks for the credit to show up though).
2) Once you have the credit card, head over to Amazon and do the Gold Box trick. I actually did this a few days before I got my card and just made sure not to visit Amazon in the meantime. Once I had the card in hand, I activated it, then went to Amazon. I logged in, clicked the gold box, and the 40GB PS3 was sitting there waiting for me under the Quick Picks section.
Third, it will also presumably be a lot cheaper than buying either a PS3 or a dedicated blu-ray player.
I dunno. I just got a new 40GB PS3 for $230 using some well known deals/tricks (plus the 50 buck credit that Amazon gave me for buying a $50 360 HDDVD drive last month).
Am I the only one who thinks it would be hilarious if every model they shipped out contained a faulty motherboard, with signals rerouted to hide the fact everything is running from a Mac Mini stashed in the "powersupply"? That would be great.
Editor is cool and all, but what is the current ETA of the game iteself and what platforms will it be released for? PC?
A previously promised downloadable demo of the creature editor from the September 7th due game..."
Hmmm, wish I could help you out with the first part. As for platforms, I believe it's definitely PC/PS3/360, with a possible Wii version(?) at this point.
Maybe it's because I pay attention to genetics and genealogy (and I thought people were geekier than I am here) but I clearly remember this news from 2006. Why is it getting recycled now, two years later?
The end of this article seems to cover that. Basically, this is a completely independent set of data (taken from the Genographic Project) that further confirms a theory that's been kicking around for a while.
I think it'll be nice if eBay takes over Craigslist. That way I'll be able to use PayPal to pay for all those, ummm, "services" I find on there. Plus I won't need to worry about my wallet disappearing.

Remember that other, real offices may look down upon such behaviour, so do remember to wear clothes for external meetings...
And remember to wear them for internal meetings too, especially if visitors are coming over.

So, could they say no fat people not wearing pants can use their software?
That would be sheer lunacy! They'd cut out nearly their entire customer base!
Of course they help. They let us know where it's legal to cross the street.

And when scaled to the size of a billiard ball, it's smoother and rounder than even the billiard ball is.

Next you're gonna be telling us how to get free wifi from all those "Linksys" hotspots, aren't you?
Tracy Mayor: Boss, will you take me off the help desk if I can drive half a million hits to the site?
Boss: Oh sure. Whatever.
"...and don't call me surely."
You don't mind if I call you Surly, do you?
But--But--But language evolves!!1!
I think in most of the country duck fornication is illegal.
Well, to be fair, we are talking about Utah here...

For $400 bucks, that would be great! ; )

Oh c'mon! 3 hours later and this still hasn't been modded up?!?

Uhhh, dude. You realize she wasn't real, right?
That would be ridiculous, which in American lawyerese seems to be spelled "with merit".
Yet in Slashdotese it seems to be spelled "rediculous".
